Hello, i have a rtx 2070s with r7 3700x with b450 and 16 gb ram. When its on idle i have 1605 mhz on gpu i am checking from gpu z, when i launch new world(game) it clocks 300mhz. Can anyone help me? This issue started after i didnt use this computer for 3 weeks. I tried to fix this problem 1-2 days and i fixed it, had no problems for 2days but it started again. I have upgraded my PSU as well.

Get hwinfo64 and get a screenshot of it for sensors relating to power supply.
Either Windows is completely borked or your gpu is

I think he means sensors relating to GPU usage which include power draw in relation to TDP, the GPU segment of the sensors page should be bottom right.
here it is

For the motherboard, lets look at the voltages, go to where it states your board model and get the volts there in hwinfo64 please
12V+5%=12.6V
12V-5%=11.4V
The 12V PCIE Input voltage seems a little low(Motherboard). IIRC PCIE output was 75W of power so 75W/12V=6.25A.
His is producing only 9V.
The Volt Rails are 11.9 which are within ATX Spec but what is the PCIE Spec?

Yeah you for sure are having problems, Either it is your Outlet/Power Strip, or Powersupply, or motherboard.
You will need to run the system without the strip. And Check, then move the computer into another room on a different circuit without the power strip and see if that hwinfo64 stuff changes. If not you need to go to a shop for testing.
Your volt input is way too low, that is why it wont get out of the 300 limit.
i just upgraded my psu, u recommending me to change the plug socket where i connect my pc?

Just because you changed your psu doesnt mean anything, yes change to a different outlet and test
Alright i turned off strip now i will turn off other lights from armoury crate and i will test ingame. If it doesnt work i will change pc location and outlet.
didnt help

Ok, get to a shop for testing and do the same thing, it will be either your Homes Power, power supply or motherboard.
You are the 2nd person to have this happen within a week

On monday i will go to a repairman, he will check. Btw today for 15-20mins i had no problem. I had good fps but then it went down to 300mhz again. Its very weird.
On bios it shows like this

The gpuid readout for pcie voltage isn't exactly on point as I had the same problem on my system but hwinfo64 read closer to the PSU 12v voltage. If the graphic card is down clocking unexpectedly that a communication issue between the graphic card to the motherboard pcie slot. Take out the graphic card and clean the gold contacts with a rubber eraser and blow out the pcie slot with compressed air can as dust bunnies can cause havoc
Then again it could be the atx power connector not making proper contact to the motherboard as if it properly seated but not wiggling as in the BIOS you read the voltages and wiggle the atx connector if it changes that points out dirty contacts you would need to spray electronic cleaner spray in the atx connector and atx port. You have to make sure it completely drained of power before spraying. That fixed my issue with voltages readout on my system

Please put your system specs in here - seriously, it helps more than you think.
software voltage readings can be wildly inaccurate, those BIOS readings seem reasonable - I don't think that's the issue
I have never seen a GPU downclock because of voltages, they either work or crash - its clocking down because its not being asked to do anything, or because it's triggered a thermal throttle
Perfcap PWR is BIOS or software limited TDP, not an issue with input power - MSI afterburner or GFE's over/underclocking can do this, as an example.
This sounds like some sort of software issue, or a throttling issue
For examples:
If your CPU is overheating/throttled, the GPU wont clock up because it has nothing to do
Or, you could have something set wrong in windows somewhere, or in the NVidia control panel
Can you post a screenshot of Hwinfo showing all the sensors (Fullscreen it, show all the readings) before a game and one screenshot while a game is running minimized or windowed?
Can you confirm your BIOS is on default settings, other than enabling XMP or altering fan speeds?
Can you reinstall your Nvidia driver with the 'clean install' option and confirm you have no runnings programs in your windows tray area?
Can you confirm windows is on the default balanced or high performance plans?

3700x and you're hitting 73C when playing a game? What cooling do you have?
Is the GPU only clocking at 300 MHz when playing New World? What about other games?
